Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors receiving specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance plan's details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before commencing treatment at TOWNLINE DENTAL.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Mavi?

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact TOWNLINE DENTAL directly to book an appointment with Dr. Mavi.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Mavi for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Mavi will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any pre-existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It's essential to follow Dr. Mavi's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays which utilize minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Mavi will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mavi at TOWNLINE DENTAL?

Your initial visit with Dr. Mavi will involve a thorough dental examination. This includes reviewing your medical and dental history, a comprehensive check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Mavi will then discuss the findings, address your concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.
